You will learn to write a sports story, figure out how to photograph sports, build courage to interview complete strangers and make new friends in the sports industry.

One of our ex-interns, Noor Farhan, joined News Radio 938LIVE in 2011.

Some of our interns enjoyed the programme so much, they stayed on as volunteer Red Crew in subsequent years. Over time, we’ve built up good memories together as a crew.

One of our past graduates, Ryan Lim, had this to say about his experience.

“The couple of months as a part of the Red Crew exposed me to more than I initially expected. I went from interviewing budding school-athletes to chatting with Olympian Quah Zheng Wen because I got the chance to cover the Singapore National Age Group (SNAG) Swimming Championships and the Singapore Youth Olympic Festival. And if that’s not enough, I even managed to pick up photography while I was at it!”
